Will your mattresses support my back and spine?

A latex foam and memory foam mattress can support each part of the body evenly and individually. This can allow the spine to stay in a neutral position. By individually supporting each part of the body, memory foam or latex foam can help reduce pressure points and help eliminate tossing and turning. Innerspring mattresses are made of independently wrapped coils that support every inch of the body, distributing your weight evenly over the mattress, ensuring total comfort.

What is the difference between memory foam mattress and a gel-memory foam mattress?

Gel Memory Foam is a unique material that infuses gel particles into memory foam, creating a plusher and cooler sleeping material. Gel memory foam is more porous or open than conventional foam meaning the cells are interconnected unlike closed cell foam; thereby is more breathable and comfortable than higher density memory foam. The open-celled physical structure of our foams is self-ventilating. Air travels throughout the material and dissipates body heat regulating your body temperature. Gel Memory foam is naturally antimicrobial and resistant to allergens, mold, bacteria and dust mites.

What’s the difference between a Gel-infused foam and a layer of gel?

A memory foam mattress that has infused gel means gel has been infused in the foam itself to keep the mattress cooler. A gel layer is just of a layer of gel by itself. Typically gel layers are used more in pillows than mattresses.

Are your mattresses dust mite resistant?

Beds and mattresses are a prime habitat for dust mites that cause allergies. A typical innerspring mattress may have anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million dust mites inside of it! A latex and memory foam mattress is naturally resistant and dust mites find it hard to create a habitat for them to survive. In fact, dust mites cannot feed at all on latex so they will never invade a latex bed.

Should I buy a hybrid, memory foam or a latex mattress?

At the end of the day, it’s about your personal comfort. The hybrid mattress combines the traditional support of innerspring coils with the conforming support of memory foam or gel memory foam. A memory foam mattress will not have the bounce of a traditional innerspring. Latex mattress are combined with latex and foam not only to support but have a softer feel for the pressure points on the body.

Can you tell me how many coils there are in your Hybrid mattresses?

It depends on the mattress size and the mattress height. There could be as low as 450 coils in a twin mattress and up to as much as 960 on a king mattress. A high coil count does not necessarily translate into a better-quality mattress, instead, the design and the gauge of the wire used is more of a factor for support, comfort, and durability.

Can you tell me what the coil gauge of your innerspring mattresses?

It varies by mattress, but typically it is 13-gauge steel. We do our best to let all of our retailers know the coil gauge by mattress, but if you need additional information about the specifications, please do not hesitate to contact us.

What is the difference between an innerspring coil and a wrapped coil?

Individually wrapped coils move independently and encased in separate pockets so they can contour precisely to your body and provide consistent distribution of support throughout the mattress and lessens motion transfer and disturbance for sleep partners. An innerspring coil that is not wrapped typically is separated by a layer of poly foam or sometimes memory foam, so the person does not feel the coils. Most of Classic Brands innerspring and hybrid mattresses have wrapped coils.

Do the mattresses have an odor?

Memory foam mattresses typically have a mild residual scent i.e., new car smell, distinct to the product when new. This is sometimes heightened when delivered during cold weather.

Some consumers are sensitive to odor, any odor, and while we understand it might be irritating to some, it is no way harmful or unhealthy. It will quickly dissipate as the mattress is used daily, allowing the open cells to expel the “processing” air and take in the new air.

Our memory foam and gel memory foam mattress meet CertiPUR-US program standards for performance, emissions, and durability.
